Questions & Answers about När brukar du diska, och vad irriterar du dig på?
Why is the preposition på at the very end of the sentence?
This is called preposition stranding, which is exactly what we do in English when we say 'what do you get annoyed at?' instead of 'at what do you get annoyed?'. In Swedish questions starting with a question word like vad, the preposition naturally drops to the end of the clause.
Why is there a dig after irriterar du?
The verb here is irritera sig, which is a reflexive verb. This means it requires a pronoun that matches the subject. Because the subject is du, the matching reflexive pronoun is dig. Literally, it translates to 'what do you irritate yourself at?'.
Why do we use the preposition på with this verb?
In Swedish, getting annoyed at or by something is expressed with irritera sig på. Prepositions rarely translate perfectly between languages, so it is highly recommended to memorize the entire phrase irritera sig på as a single block.
Why isn't there an att before diska?
The verb brukar (meaning to usually do something) functions as an auxiliary or helping verb. Just like kan (can) or vill (want to), it is followed directly by the infinitive form of the main verb without needing an att.
